The Detroit Land Bank Authority's director of demolition has resigned, continuing a recent trend of high turnover among the city's demolition officials.

Rebecca Camargo, who was named director only seven months ago, resigned effective Sept. 1, Land Bank spokesman Craig Fahle said today. Camargo was an attorney for the land bank before she was named demolition director.

"We thank Rebecca Camargo for her more than three years of exceptional service to the Detroit Land Bank and wish her well in her future endeavors," Fahle said in a statement.

A handful of Detroit demolition officials have quit in the past year amid a federal criminal investigation into the city's blight demolition program, which has seen a spate of problems, from rising prices to problems with contractors following environmental regulations.

Tammy Daniels, deputy general counsel for the land bank, will serve as interim director, Fahle said.
